There is only one reason why I do this on my own now! Its easy.. yup as long as you have the right tool, we can certainly do it ourselves. But we all have to keep in mind to dispose the used oil properly. In my case, our garbage collection have their own way of disposing used oils.
As for this blog, I won't be discussing the advantage of doing this regularly to your beloved bikes. As for me since this bike is my daily commuter then I most of the time change the oil atleast 1 a month or maximum of 2 months of using the bike.
There are different kinds of oil. I would prefer the cheap ones like oils with SAE 40 grade than 10W- 40. I believe its good for my bike and for practicality too.. I do this regularly so why spend that much when you can just buy a liter at 175 pesos:)

After draining oil from the bike, I let it sit for sometime while doing other stuff at home. This is why I do it at home, I get to do other stuff while waiting for most of the oil to drip. You would want to clean the oil filter found inside the oil drain. Close the oil drain and pour new oil on the other side of the bikes engine where you have your oils dip stick! Thats about it! Drive safe everyone...
